HP Designjet T1200 Ink Cartridges

HP T1200 Printer Review

The HP Designjet T1200 is a completely integrated solution for offices that want a large-format inkjet device to not only print documents, but copy and scan them as well. Due to its unique multifunction design, the T1200 is on the expensive end of its class of large-format units, but with that price comes impressive features like its Instant Printing technology that enables quick printing and scanning at maximum rates of 549 square feet per hour. Whether users need to print monochrome blueprints and graphics or full-color professional photos, this machine has the quality Designjet T1200 printer ink system and versatile media handling to support architects and designers.

A heavy weight of 440 pounds and bulky size of 74x40x63 inches will require users to find a big space to use this machine, but its inclusion of rollers will make it easier to push it from one location to another. Such a large size is needed to allow it accommodate a wide-range of media with a maximum width of up to 42 inches. Built-in media handling includes the standard sheet feeder for cut media and two automatic roll feeds. The unit has automatic roll-switching technology so users can quickly go between two different types of rolls, as well as an automatic cutter to ensure projects are trimmed precisely. Supported media ranges from film and photographic paper to self-adhesive and coated paper.

The machine provides an ethernet interface for convenient network connectivity and a standard USB port. Users will easily be able to walk up and print documents or make edits thanks to its intuitive color touchscreen LCD that displays menu options and provides access to popular print, scan and copy functions. For example, if a user wanted to walk up to the device and copy a project they would be able to duplicate it up to 1,000 times without the need of their computer.

Whether users have a color poster presentation project or an important image, this device can print sharp and consistent color tones that will suit the needs of professional environments with a resolution of 2400x1200 dpi using HP T1200 printer ink. Users can also use tools to sharpen the quality of a batch of copies, as well as scan projects with a crisp resolution of 9600x9600 dpi.

The device uses 5 standard HP T1200 ink cartridges that include matte black, yellow, cyan, magenta and photo black supplies. An optional gray Designjet T1200 ink cartridge can be added to print with greater monochrome precision. To keep costs low on replacements users can opt to purchase remanufactured HP T1200 ink that is less expensive than OEM supplies.

Simply put, the T1200 is one of the most versatile large-format printers on the market with its excellent all-in-one capabilities. In addition, this inkjet printer benefits from quick speeds, an intuitive touchscreen display and a flexible media handling.
